Who We Are
Gloucestershire Geology Trust (GGT) is a registered charity, a founder member of The Geology Trusts and one of the leading geoconservation organisations in the country. The Trust was set up in 1992, with the aim of surveying and recording Regionally Important Geological Sites (RIGS).

In addition to these services, we are able to deliver adviceand information relating to geology and geoconservation matters, as well as practical SSSI and RIGS geoconservation work. We have become the key point of Specialist Earth Heritage Conservation advice in the county.

Huntley Quarry Conservation DaysCome along to Huntley Quarry to explore and improve the state of the impressive geological features. With knowledgable Geowardens on hand to lend their expertise, spend the afternoon contributing to the geoconservation of the quarry in the lovely woodland setting with tea, coffee and biscuits provided!

Come along and help Geowardens clear vegetation, expose geological structures, maintain paths, and much more. All people are welcome and no experience is needed, just enthusiasm for working outdoors and learning about Earth heritage.If interested, please email Alice at alice@glosgeotrust.org.uk or phone 01452 8644378 to find out more and sign up.

***Please note: these conservation days are not suitable for those who have difficulty in walking and climbing as there are several steep path areas and uneven surfaces.

Geo-conservation Days at Robinswood Hill, GloucesterCome along and help at conservation taster days and full work days, clearing Jurassic rocks and revealing ancient creatures in the 200Myr old exposures in the upper quarry and other gems along the Geology Trail. With great views into the surrounding Gloucestershire countryside, teas and cakes, and good company, it is a great way to spend time!

With vegetation clearance, finding fossils, outcrop improvements, and a bit of wildlife watching -there are some resident goats who spend their time chomping through the shrubs, helping to improve the Geology outcrops is a great way to add to the All Paths Lead to the Hill Project.
